Tell me what stupid things you have done so I don't feel such an idiot!

I was painting lattice privacy trellis panels for garden on Sunday and managed to dunk the brush in my tea not the paint

Did something similar last Saturday, VERY hungover. Was getting a cup of white grape juice and a very strong coffee. Got out the grape juice and started pouring it into the coffee I'd made

Love all the stories

I once worked at a secure site, you had to sign out the bunch of keys on arrival then hand them back when you left. One evening on my way home I did the usual routine of handing the keys over, had a chat to the security guards then drove home. On arriving home I realised I still had my work keys in my pocket... but no house keys. Had to drive back to work to get them.

This one is my husband's story...

On our third date he invited me to his house and cooked a lovely meal, with sticky toffee pudding for dessert. His niece, then aged about 12, asked him how the date went and if I'd enjoyed the pudding. His reply 'well, she stayed the night'. This was followed by a very embarrassed silence as he realised that was maybe not something he wanted to talk about with a 12 year old.

No, but I have been known to drain the stock down the sink and be left with a sieve foll of bones etc. More than once

Oh and parking in a large multi storey car park with my sister, and as usual we were talking in depth.
When we got back to the car 3 hours later suddenly realised that we couldn't actually remember which level I had parked the car on. We walked up 6 levels clicking the remote locking before we found it!

Something my OH did today... He has the day off so I told him last night that a package will be coming BETWEEN 10a.m. and 12 p.m. and if he can please wait in for it.

He has just messaged me saying he's out with the dog and thought the package was arriving at exactly 10-TO-12, aka 11.50! DUHHH!!!

when on holiday in Florida hubby managed to lock the hire car keys in the boot of the car.
we spent ages looking to see if there was a boot release lever in the front and reading the manual but eventually gave up and rang a locksmith.

He spent 10 minutes trying to get into the boot and warned us that if he had to break the lock it would be very expensive to replace the boot lock.
As a final resort he rang one of his friends and they told him there was a lever in the front .

OH offers to pick me up from work, 20 minutes later he tells me he can't find the car keys so I get bus home. We then spend the next two hours hunting EVERYWHERE (There was a decent amount of snow and we actually scraped it all off the front of the house in case he dropped them in the snow), in bushes and everything, pulled the entire house apart.

We then think that maybe he dropped them and someone has picked them up (we live on a fairly rough estate) and we have the only car of that make on the estate so whoever has them will know exactly what car they're linked to, so then start calling up dealer garages and towing companies to get quotes for getting it there asap to get new keys. OH then walks 3 miles to halfords to pick up a steering-wheel lock just in case this guy who apparently nicked them comes for the car in the night.

We give up, start getting a bit depressed. I make dinner and OH takes rubbish out to the bin, which unfortunately hadn't been emptied that day (pick up day) as the binmen had refused to do our road as it's on a hill and too dangerous. The keys were sat on top of the last bin bag he had put in. He had put some rubbish on the counter in the kitchen, scooped it up in his arms and taken the keys with the scoop........

I've done that with homemade soup quite a few times. I'm just left with a sieve full of mushy veggies as I poured the soup down the drain.:o

Even worse (had forgotten, probably deliberately). First outing into town on my own with eldest daughter, parked in multi storey car park, which I never do as avoid paying to park. On way home, drove out of car park to realise pram with daughter in it still sitting next to where car was parked. :eek::eek::eek:
